Front Row
Watching the Reapers arrive at your homeworld is something nobody will ever forget. Especially when you're watching that moment from the moon and you have front row seats of the destruction.
That destruction only fueled Garrus' rage for the Reapers. Leaving his family behind on Palaven and coming to Menae was a tough choice. It was even tougher being named the 'Expert Reaper Advisor' and give advice about them since he had the most experience.
He wasn't used to being a leader. But if he had to play Commander during times like this, he wouldn't refuse. He just hoped his people would be able to defend their world.
